I think there is a way to watch LiveTV with the XBMC MythTV python plugin. I
know you can at least schedule and watch recordings that way. I have never
tried with LiveTV though
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmcmythtv/

You also could get a HDHR and watch LiveTV natively through XBMC because
they have supported the UPNP detection and video streaming for a while now.

I do agree that this would probably only work with SD or maybe 720p (you
would need component cables of course).
